Where do I go to nominate James Oosterman Broker of the Year? This superman is fasterthan a speeding e-mail, more powerful than hurricane-force winds and, as this videohttps://vimeo.com/235176530 shows, able to leap tall buildings. Or maybe even fly?From start to finish, James handled every detail of the condo sale with professionalism and apersonal touch. He helped us through a bureaucratic obstacle course and ran interferencewhen necessary. Besides producing a great video, he battened down the hatches when ahurricane approached Cabarete, coordinated communication among several parties in threedifferent time zones and three languages and apparently never or seldom went off duty.I highly recommend James Oosterman of Blue Sail Realty for your real estate transactions inthe Dominican Republic.

Again thanks so much! :)​

​James,We wanted to extend our sincere thanks to you for selling our Las Canas property. I have owned and managed a real estate company in downtown Toronto since 1991. Therefore, I am well aware of what makes a successful real estate representative. You have those qualities. A strong work ethic and integrity combined with great marketing abilities. Your drone video our our property and of our beach was spectacular. That video combined with staging and your virtual tour of our home generated three interested buyers. You spent countless hours devoted to the marketing of our home. We greatly appreciate your hard work and professionalism. We will recommend you and Blue Sail Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Dominican Republic.Linda & Tom Thompson

I want to extend a big "Thank You" to James.

We have purchased many properties in the US. This is our first in another country.

James was the most accommodating real estate agent we have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He Showed us properties that met or exceeded our expectations and within our budget whether they were his listing or not.

We now own our dream home in paradise, thanks to James.

We feel like we have a true friend in the Dominican Republic with James.

Blue Sails Realty is the premiere real estate company for purchasing a place in the Dominican Republic

At first I was apprehensive about purchasing property out of the US but after working with James my concerns went away. He showed me a range of options according to my criteria and was well organized and prepared. During the purchasing process he promptly responded to questions with clear, detailed answers and made the process easy. James is thorough, patient and professional. I would highly recommend Blue Sail Realty and James.Thank you

​A special thanks to Blue Sail Realty and specifically James Oosterman for helping me find my dream home. James was extremely patient with me and went the extra mile to make sure all the opportunities were explored. After an intense week of showings and negotiations we found the perfect home. I couldn't be more happy with the service and professionalism that I received. I would strongly recommend Blue Sale Realty to anyone that is serious about purchasing property in the Dominican."​July,2015

I started my search for a place on the North Coast of the DR after consuming one too many episodes of The Caribbean Life on HGTV in the summer of 2017. I was determined to find something but was uneasy about going solo. Luckily I connected with James Oosterman owner of Blue Sail. From being picked up at the POP airport until signing day of the new place took less than 90 days. I told James what I wanted and he went to work. He had a place reserved for me to stay during my initial 3 day visit and a professionally bound dossier of places we were going to see. The Dominican Republic makes it easy to buy and own property without being a citizen. Jenny Famillia our attorney was top notch and provided by James as recommendation for this process. Jenny certainly did not disappoint and took all the anxiety out of the process. You can tell after meeting with James he is not your typical realtor and clearly is not just after quick sales and a commission. I can honestly say after buying my place with James help I count him on my very good friend list. In addition he has all the local contacts to make improvements to your property at the lowest cost and highest quality materials.

In conclusion I have my little slice of paradise right on the ocean thanks to James at Blue Sail. The north coast of the DR is a growing area that is only going to boom in the next 5 years or less.

​My wife and I just purchased a beachfront condo in Cabarete, in the Dominican Republic. We live in the US and this is the first property that we have purchased outside the country. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we absolutely didn’t think that it would be this easy. We have to say that the entire process was smooth and painless from the very beginning and it is all thanks to James and Jenny! They were awesome from start to finish! Amazing! We can’t say enough good about James. He has gone above and beyond all through the process. We came to the Dominican Republic for a one day visit on a cruise ship. We were only going to be in port for about 8 hours, so we were a bit worried about being able to get this done. We had contacted James at Blue Sail Realty before we visited to see if it might be possible to look at some condos while we were in town. We are so glad that we did! We would highly recommend Blue Sail Realty and especially James to anyone looking for a property in the Dominican Republic. James was so professional and very accommodating. He picked us up at the cruise port in Amber Cove and brought us to Sosua and Cabrete to look at condos. He met us with a nice booklet of condos that he put together for us. He took us to see all the condos and more, showing us the towns and the beach. He answered all our questions and gave us some excellent advice. He was so friendly and personable. He felt like a friend from the beginning. He was very respectful about our time and made sure that he got us back to the port in plenty of time to get back to our ship. After we looked at the properties, he was able to get us setup with his attorney, Jenny. She was very helpful in guiding us through the legalities and made things simple. During this time, James sent us many videos and pictures to help us solidify which property that we wanted to purchase. Just watching his videos, you can see his great attention to detail and his professionalism! Now that we have the purchase done, James is helping us to get some remodeling done. Again, he has gone above and beyond even after the purchase. He is helping to get us the right people to do the work and even helping us to pick out new furniture! We just wanted to ‘Thank you so much, James!’. Every time that we talk to him, we feel more like we are talking to a friend! We are planning for a visit back to the Dominican Republic in December and we look forward to seeing James and being able to ‘Thank’ him again in person!

​I wanted to send a special thank you note to James and his attorney Jenny Familia for the extraordinary work that they did during the purchasing process of my condo in Sosua. James was not only a very professional real estate agent but also became a very close friend. Coming from Toronto and himself from Ottawa, I had some trust in someone who speaks my language and could count on him in a foreign land.

I must also say the Dominican attorney Jenny Familia he works with exceeded my expectation with so perfect Oxford English and very professional in her time response.

If anyone is thinking of getting a property in Dominican Republic, James is your contact.Thank You James for your time and help.​, November 02, 2016

There are two words that describe James perfectly. Professional and awesome. We have 2 condos for sale in Cabarete that James showed to prospective clients. He always gave us sufficient notice of a showing, worked around our schedule and gave us feedback after each showing. He was far above any other agent that showed our properties. We have highly recommended him to other owners
